MELBOURNE - A body found floating in the water near the Eau Gallie Yacht Basin was identified Monday as Wanda Lea Toth, 49, of Melbourne.

Autopsy results indicate Toth died as the result of an accidental drowning and that alcohol was a contributing factor, said Melbourne police Capt. Ron Bell.

Toth had been drinking with friends late Friday when she decided to visit another friend on a boat, Bell said. ``She got to the boat, but for whatever reason, she apparently slipped off of it and into the water,'' the spokesman said.

Toth's body was found near the yacht basin at 587 Young St. about 7:45 a.m. Saturday.
